Meet Volunteer Stephanie Reed

Local artist Stephanie Reed on why she's volunteering at WWNO for the membership drive, and why public radio is important to her.

Listener Stephanie Reed says she searched out two things right away when she moved to New Orleans from Maine three years ago: her local farmers market and WWNO.

"That's a good way to feel at home in a new place," Stephanie told WWNO's Fred Kasten.

It's why Stephanie, an artist and employee of local icons SnoWizard and the Hollygrove Market and Farm, is volunteering her time during the Spring membership drive. She's taking your calls, so help Stephanie help WWNO by calling 800-286-7002 or click here.

"I love the local programming, but I also love the national programming," Stephanie says. "This American Life is one of my favorite programs, too. I just think it's really high-quality."

Stephanie listens to WWNO all day, and even leaves the station on for her parakeets when she's out of the house. You can help keep us on the air for Fifi and Flappy by making your membership pledge today.

Take a look at some of the photos from our Spring Membership Drive, already in full swing! Thanks so much to all of our donors and volunteers, and to you for making New Orleans public radio possible.

Gratitude! That’s what we at WWNO feel at during our membership drive. With the support of hundreds of donors in the last few days, not to mention many others who gave to our Lagniappe Fund earlier this month, we have had a very successful drive so far — but we’re not done yet!
